Chapter 191 - So Shiny
'Void, is that what I think it is?'
Although it was only the shadow of the creature, Grey had read a lot about it too often and also seen statues as well as drawings to be able to guess what it was, not just that, but he battled what looked like it about a month ago.
'If what you're thinking is what I'm thinking, then yes, it is what I think you think it is.' Void said in a strange drunkish voice.
'Huh!' Grey was lost for a moment due to how Void was speaking.
'In short, it's a dragon.' Void added in his normal voice this time.
Grey s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath on getting confirmation from Void. This wasn't like the quasi dragon he encountered the previous time, but a true breathing dragon.
"What's that?" Klaus asked before squinting his eyes to study the shape properly.
Even though there are only a few people who had seen a dragon in the present Qilin empire, it was something greatly revered by people because of its immense strength as well as its superior magical abilities. According to legends, it was said to be the leader amongst all the beasts.
"It...looks...like...a...dragon." Reynolds said after studying the shape.
"Yeah." Alice nodded.
Klaus had also figured it out as well.
The trio gasped in surprise and anxiety, they currently had the opportunity to see a dragon, of course they would be nervous, but there's one thing that was currently overshadowing their nervousness, excitement.
The excitement of seeing a dragon was unimaginable, they were still youngsters, so it was normal to be excited when one sees a legendary magical beast like a dragon.
Had Chris not been in the Lunar Academy, then they would just be as excited whenever they saw a Griffin as well, but because they've seen it too frequently, they've become numb to it, sometimes, they even forget it is a legendary beast.
'Since it's a dragon, doesn't that mean there will be a lot of shiny things?' Void's pitch-black eyes lit up at the thought of there being shiny things.
On hearing the story, the trio gasped in fear and shock. They didn't think that Grey would have such an experience in the trial land, not just that, but he survived, although it was with the help of an array he knew nothing about, it was still amazing to be able to escape.
"Do you all still think it's a wise choice to head in?" Grey asked after seeing their reactions.
"No, but to be honest, I'm very curious about it." Klaus replied.
The others nodded as well, although going in might be risky, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. What if this was their only chance to see a dragon?
Grey sighed and looked at them, he was also curious, but his cautiousness was telling him not to go in. The group has managed to survive till now, it would be a shame if any of them, or all of them were to die here.
'Void can you sense the stage of... Shit! Void come back here!' Grey's facial expression changed when he couldn't find Void on Alice's shoulder.
He initially wanted to ask if Void could sense the stage of the dragon, if it wasn't too strong, then they might take the risk of going in, but who knew Void was long gone.
"What's it?" Alice asked when she noticed the change in Grey's expression.
"That crazy cat has gone in." Grey said through gritted teeth.
"What? Why?" Alice asked a little fearful of losing Void.
Although she couldn't communicate with him like Grey, she likes him, especially his soft black fur.
"Apparently, just like dragons, he too loves shiny things." Grey said while rubbing his temple to try and calm the headache he was feeling all of a sudden.
"Since there's a dragon here, then there would be shiny things as well." Alice said.
Grey nodded with a tired face, Void is once again about to put him in a perilous predicament, his only prayer is that the dragon shouldn't be too strong, so they might be able to escape.
Inside the cave.
'Sooo shiny...' Void said looking at the glittering shiny objects on the floor with drool dropping from the side of his widely opened mouth.
He didn't even put the over six meters creature in his eyes, all he was seeing were the shiny things.
